Prostatitis can be divided into different types. To determine the type, the correct treatment method can be adopted. During the treatment process, it is necessary to determine the characteristics of its symptoms. What methods can be used to diagnose prostatitis? Below are three methods that our relevant experts can introduce to you to diagnose prostatitis.
B-ultrasound examination:
B-ultrasound is a commonly used method for detecting prostatitis, including transrectal detection and transpubic epigastric detection, which can accurately measure the prostate with an error of no more than 5%. It has the advantages of simplicity, non-invasive, non-invasive, and fast.
Generally, the diagnosis of prostatitis is mainly based on medical history, digital rectal examination, and prostate fluid examination. However, in some cases, when unwilling or unconditional to undergo these examinations, B-ultrasound can also be used as an auxiliary basis for the diagnosis of prostatitis.
Anal digital examination:
Anal digital examination of the prostate is the simplest method of examination, which can examine the size, appearance, and tenderness of the prostate, thereby making a preliminary diagnosis and screening of prostatitis. In patients who have been ill for a long time, the prostate gland may become smaller, harder, uneven in texture, and have small nodules. At the same time, the method of prostate massage is used to obtain prostate fluid for a routine examination.
Prostate fluid examination:
Prostatitis can be diagnosed by having more than 10 white blood cells in the prostatic fluid and a decrease in lecithin bodies in the high magnification field of the microscope. If bacterial culture is conducted simultaneously, a clear diagnosis and classification of chronic prostatitis can be made. If the bacterial culture result of prostatitis fluid is positive, chronic bacterial prostatitis is diagnosed; On the contrary, it is chronic non bacterial prostatitis.
